The Ultimate Morning Musume Single Ranking PART I

I spent a very nostalgic day watching old Morning Musume PVs in preparation for this. I cried a lot. Tears of love <3 That's just how much I love Morning Musume. And now I realise that I have to rank all 42 of these songs, which is a major problem. You see, with Morning Musume, the thing that sets them apart from other artists is that every single one of their songs means something special to me. Their songs don't have to be unique, or special or catchy for me to love them, because they're being sung by a group of girls that I adore. I guess the best way to explain it is that say if you were a parent, even some random piece of crap that your child made at school would seem special to you. It's sort of like that. I wonder if that's the way everyone feels about their favourite group? I'm guessing it's not like that for Kishiko

Because there are 42 songs (I'm not including Ai no Tane, that's going in the b-side ranking if I ever do one of them) I've split this into two parts. This is part I, or the 21 songs that I love a lot. Part II will be the songs that I love a lot a lot and make me cry every time I listen to them. Something like that. And just be warned, there will be A LOT of reminiscing in this ranking. Sorry about that ^^; And if it seems like I’m bashing a song, that’s just because I can’t be bothered spazzing out over every single song and it’ll be more interesting for you if I’m more mean. In fact, think of this more as a collection of personal anecdotes rather than my actual reasoning for why I’ve ranked these songs the way I have. Now, onto the ranking.
